Photo: Gymnast Breaks Leg at Rio Olympic

French gymnast Samir Ait Said, 26, suffered the most horrendous broken leg injury the Olympic Games has surely ever seen in Rio on Aug. 6.

Samir, who won gold on the rings in the 2013 World Championships and silver in the same event in 2015, landed really awkwardly as he sprung off a vault in the men’s gymnastics qualifier, and his leg just completely gave way underneath him! Ouch! Poor Samir had to be taken off on a stretcher, but the brave soul still managed to wave to the crowd as they clapped him out of the Rio Olympic Arena.
